Making progress on the E75.
Most of the major subassemblies are done, just waiting on the photoetch now.
The turret mantlet has been up armored and reprofiled. I also opted to use the 88mm from a King Tiger rather than the 3 foot long barrel the E75 comes with.
The plan is to portray a King Tiger's turret that has upgraded and placed on the hull of a E75.

Haven't been able to get much bench time in but I was able to get the base started.
I used an inexpensive picture frame with the glass/back removed. Two inch bass wood strips make up the sides with styrofoam in the inside to bring everything level. A top coat of wood filler was used to create some elevations.
Now I'm waiting on some bricks to arrive and then I can start making the rubble piles and work on articulating the suspension.
